That looks a lot like the 6K chassis Seat Ibiza we get in Europe just with an odd looking boot panel (the Ibiza has a red plastic type insert between the rear lights).

Yeah, as far as I know, South Africa is the only place this polo was released. It was called a Polo Playa 6N and has a very similar front end to the 6N released in the UK, but is modeled primarily on the Ibiza as you mentioned. Suspension is pretty much a golf MK2 platform... so kind of a mix n match of everything I guess.

Here is a link to a post I made on this forum with a little info on the mods done etc as well as a link to the 'build thread' on the VW Club SA forum where I 'reside'

So Ibiza basics with the Polo Variant/old Toledo frontend then?
Pretty much same undercarriage config on old 6Ns, mk2/3 Golfs and Passat 35s...
